A Chicagoan's guide to the best of Chicago dining, fully revised for 2018. Chicago’s online food magazine Fooditor digs deep into a great food city, and this book puts the best of it in an easy-to-consult guide. From fancy tasting menus to neighborhood eats from all around the world, this guide gives you the specifics on the places you should check out—and the exact things you should order, thoroughly revised for 2018. So forget snooty guides from French tire companies, online top 10s from sites you never heard of, and where a guy you know ate 15 years ago. Here’s a local expert telling you what he’d eat and drink right now in Chicago, the most interesting and accessible food city in America. Plus: a bonus guide to authentic and friendly Chicago Mexican restaurants! "Most guidebooks suck, especially when it comes to restaurants. Either they're not written for locals (and therefore contain lots of useless stuff you already know), they are wildly out of date because they are only slightly updated from year to year, or they pander to the lowest common restaurant denominator and insist that everyone run to Grand Lux Cafe. Thank goodness for The Fooditor 99, the new Chicago restaurant guidebook from food writer Michael Gebert." —Chicagoist “A textbook foodie, and my favorite food writer in the city.” —James VanOsdol, WKQX

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, even if you have earlier editions. And yes for any new Chicagoans.

I wasn't sure I really needed the new edition of Fooditor 99, but since the Kindle version is so inexpensive, it seemed worth checking it out. I was delighted to see not only some great new reviews, but also updated reviews from prior editions. I really recommend this to anyone who is sending a kid off to college in the Chicago area, or is planning a visit and wants some advice beyond the typical list of crowd favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great list of the best Chicago restaurants

Whenever I travel, I do a ton of research looking for great restaurants to eat at. Because of the excitement and anticipation that comes from that, the options at home sometimes seem to get "dull".

Well the last few years, this book has annually reinvigorated my excitement of the food options in Chicago. It's an awesome list and has far more depth than the usual lists that are readily available. Highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Chicago Food List You Need
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

The world is awash in restaurant lists that are driven by trends, press releases, and bloggers who never really eat at the places they're writing about.

This list is different. It comes from an independent Chicago food journalist who steps around the hype, digs deep for stories, and finds the real soul of Chicago's restaurant scene. The capsules are sharp, interesting and always include an easy intro on "what to order". He hits all parts of town, all price points, and just about every cuisine possible.

Throw away your Zagat and pick up The Fooditor 99.

Michael Gerbert knows the Chicago restaurant and food scene over several decades as a consumer and award winning writer, podcaster and journalist.
I know I can count on his recommendations to deliver food I want to eat, often more than once. His guide also helps guide guests to some of each venues best of house dishes. I highly recommend this guide and plan to give it as gifts to many of my friends and clients. Buy it, you'all be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful, opinionated, on point

After getting hooked on the author's weekly Fooditor email, grabbed this on a whim late in 2019. It's already become our go-to when we just...can't...decide...where...to...go or want something new. Short, pointed reviews from Chicago's best working restaurant writer. Thin, but indispensable for eating out (and doing it well!) in Chicago-land.

This book is THE guide to have if you're living in Chicago and love to eat out. And for a value/price point ratio, there isn't a reason not to pick up extra copies to gift to your closest friends and family.

Essential guide to Chicago dining, from haute to hot spots. I keep my copy in the car so I can look for recommended places when I get hungry while I’m out and about.
